Re: OER/PfR at lab exam?

Hi Ivan,

I personally felt that book was more useful in consolidating material
in one place to support attempting the written exam and even then the
blueprint as you say does cover more topics than what the book can
cover in detail otherwise it may be 2500 pages or more in length.

I cant tell you exactly how much detail you have to know but I would
strongly recommend a more than passing acquaintance with it.
Supplementary material besides what you find on CCO is a number of the
major CCIE training vendors have multiple postings covering this on
their blogs and certainly understanding the main phases of the PfR
process will be helpful if you are a little rusty and have to deal
with the topic.

I think preparing for the CCIE lab is like being a scout, you need to
be prepared, anything listed on the blue print is fair game and
sometimes it seems that the proctor can smell your weakness and give
you an exam that has that topic in it.

Cheers,
Adam
